Assuming you ripped the game from your own gamecard and converted it to an nsp since piracy is frowned up around here, download an emulator for your pc and test the file there. If the file doesn't work, it's more than likely an issue with the file itself. If the file does work, you could try awoo installer which works tremendously well.

Question. Is airplane mode on or off when this happens? if it is off, try turning airplane mode on and see if the games start. Come back and report your findings, then myself or someone else can go from there.

You have incorrect patches installed, or an older version of sys-patch. That issue you describe happens when you didn't have the correct patches.

Pointing to piracy with an actual link is frowned upon here (or should I say flat out not allowed), but pretending no one is pirating is not required.

Just making sure I won't get the boot for helping someone who is potentially pirating software. I've been warned in the past in the PS3 threads for putting in my 2 cents regarding pkg files.
